Fabulously delicious. I had a lime paneer roll and a thelewala chicken roll. Amazing.

I am sad I didn't know about this sooner! This is the kind of food you keep thinking about after you're done. Can't wait to try more!
Never having ordered before, I didn't know how big/filling the rolls would be. I would say 1 for a snack, 2 for a meal.

Meh. Not too pricey, esp for manhattan, but not too tasty either.

Well, I can't review the food because it's been 1 hour and 25 minutes and it hasn't shown up. When I called to find out what was going on, the woman who answered the phone said, "we've been trying to get ahold of the delivery guy but he's not answering his phone." Okaaaay. My advice: order from somewhere else.

Wow where to begin. My delivery never came when they said 15 minutes. I had the audacity to call after 60 minutes and ask them where the food was they said "its on the way" and hung up on me. When I called back the exact same thing happened again. And then it NEVER CAME.

Food arrived almost 20 minutes past the delivery estimate. And the order was placed at 10:30 PM on Thursday night, so I doubt it was because they were too busy. bhelpuri and my chicken roll were both heavily overspiced. Disappointing.

Good food but terrible service. Multiple times I've ordered and received confirmation emails saying delivery in 15-30 minutes. Each time it's well over an hour. Calling only results in lies and hang ups. My fault for thinking they'd change. Never order from here if you are hungry or if you expect service from a restaurant.

Quick delivery. Slightly disappointed in the flavor of the thelewala special roll but that is probably because I was expecting something different. The Chapli and the Malai Chicken were superb and very authentic. Definitely worth trying.

I've had Indian food before, but not like this. This I guess could be considered "street" food and boy was it good. The Lime Pinoer roll was exceptionally good. Delivery time was roughly at what they estimated it at. Will order from here again, might even tell a few people about this west village gem.

The menu is a really nice change from the typical Indian menu everyone shares in NYC.....flavorfull street food that holds up pretty well in delivery.
